-In difference to the [[AOUT_Module]] or [[AOUT_NG module]], this project doesn't require a special (expensive and hard to get) DAC IC, instead resistors are formed to a discrete R-2R ladder network. Building such a circuit means a lot of soldering effort, but as the MBHP is indented as a Do-It-Yourself platform, and not as a commercial product, this argument is very weak. However, the resistor ladder could be replaced by a DAC with parallel interface (see Karl's schematics), this would still have the advantage, that the DACs are accessible via a serial chain (-> low number of uC pins are allocated), and that the software driver doesn't need to be adapted for a proprietary interface.+In difference to the [[AOUT_Module|AOUT]] or [[AOUT_NG]], this project doesn't require a special (expensive and hard to get) DAC IC, instead resistors are formed to a discrete R-2R ladder network.

 The 12/4 bit option is used by MIDIbox SID (the filter is controlled with 12bit, the resonance with 4bit only). The 12/4 bit option is used by MIDIbox SID (the filter is controlled with 12bit, the resonance with 4bit only).
 In the MIDIbox CV firmware the resolution option is selectable. 8/8bit is enough if the module should control V/Oct CV inputs via Note or CC events. 12/4bit should be selected if channel #1 is connected to a Hz/V input, or if high-resolution events (NRPNs, PitchWheel) are desired. In the MIDIbox CV firmware the resolution option is selectable. 8/8bit is enough if the module should control V/Oct CV inputs via Note or CC events. 12/4bit should be selected if channel #1 is connected to a Hz/V input, or if high-resolution events (NRPNs, PitchWheel) are desired.
